A special day for Ismaël and for you.

Usually horses sleep from midnight until early morning.
If a horse feels comfortable in its situation it will lie down, called the “lateral recumbency”.

This horse of the Gonzales family certainly feels comfortable in the corral while it is still during the day.



Trees grow in soil where is sunshine and water.
This tree near the Gonzales rancho decided to grow not in soil, but between rocks on a vertical slope.



Meanwhile the regular and daily activities on the rancho of the Gonzales family continue dictated by the laws of nature.
Each day their cows produce milk therefore each day cheese is being made.
Today Ketcha Gonzales was assisted by her beautiful daughter Christina.



Extraordinary and wonderful observations made at Punta Boca del Salado and maybe Ismaël’s birthday was also outside regular traditions.

His 23rd birthday is on Sunday but because many family and friends were at the rancho on Friday, that day was chosen as the day for the celebration.
What does it matter anyway what day exactly a birthday is celebrated?

Many were involved working on the most important thing of the birthday.
The birthday cake.
A gigantic square object of cake with marmalade and a cream cover.



It is all very informal and easy going.
In a happy spirit.







It was a special day for Ismaël last night and today it is a special day for all the female fervent and loyal blog readers.
